Curious Chestnut Tree.

SOMERSET, Pa, Nov. 20.-A chestnut tree
on Jesse Crisis farm near this place presents
a phenomenon in vegetable growth. 1t is
evident that at the start the tree was intended
to be two trees, for there are two separate
trunks, three feet apart, ten feet high and
two feet in diameter. At the height of ten
feet, however, the two trunks join, each one
having at some stage of its existence curved
suddenly toward the other until the union
was formed. From that point the trunk is
single and grows to the height of thirty five
feet before limb appears. Another curious
thing about the tree is that the nuts it bears
have double meats without an exception.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
The Duke OF COnnaught Will Get No
Vacation.
LONDON, May IL

LONDON, May II.
In the House of Commons today, Sir John
Gorst parliamentary secretary to India,
moved the second reading of the bill granting
leave of absence to the Duke Connaught,
commander OF the forces in India, in order
that be might attend the jubilee festivities.
Lewis Dillway, member for Swansea, lib
eral, moved to reject the motion. He said
there was strong feeling in the country
against the appointment OF exalted person
ages to positions of command over the
heads OF others. If appointments were to be
given on account of relationship to the throne
persons so appointed ought to be under the
same conditions that applied to others.
Sir John Swinebourne, liberal, a retired
captain of the royal navy, seconded Dill.
ways motion. He condemned the system
under which the royalty had the choice Of
the best places in the army and navy without
having passed through the different grades.
The speaker, iDterrupting, said the member
was travelling beyond the question. There
was the Duke of Cambridge, now field
marshal, who had never served either as an
ensign. lieutenant, captain or lieutenant
colonel. The bill only concerned the Duke
of Connaught.
Sir John, continuing, said it would be grace
fu act on the part of the duke to retire in
order that some distinguished officer might
take the place. There was an enormous
amount of Ineffective service, master and
money. In consequence, exalted persons
were holding high rank.
The speaker ruled Sir John out of order.
Labouchere denounced the bill as obse-
quious and servile.
division was taken resulting in vote of
3l8 to 45 against the bill.
